Demand Response

Demand Response is a voluntary PJM program that compensates end-use (retail) customers for reducing their electricity use (load), when requested by PJM, during periods of high power prices or when the reliability of the grid is threatened. These customers receive payments from PJM members called Curtailment Service Providers. Learn more about demand response at the Learning Center.
